Extracting knowledge from a knowledge database

Abstract

A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each query word of a query to produce sets of identigens. A set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a query word of the query. The method further includes determining that a first query word is associated with a first query command. When selecting the first query command, the method further includes interpreting remaining sets of identigens to produce a query entigen group that represents a most likely meaning interpretation of remaining query words. The method further includes accessing a knowledge database utilizing the query entigen group to obtain entigen information and outputting a response based on the entigen information and the first query command.
